How much does Kajabi cost per year in 2026?

The Basic plan is $143 a month billed yearly, which is $1,716 for the year, roughly £1,340 at the rate we recorded in late July 2026. Growth is $199 a month billed yearly, $2,388 a year, and Pro is $399 a month billed yearly, $4,788 a year. Paying month by month costs more: Basic is $179, Growth $249, Pro $499. All figures from Kajabi's own pricing page, read on 24 August 2026, and all in US dollars.

Does Kajabi charge a transaction fee on sales?

Kajabi says there is no revenue sharing, and if you take payments through Kajabi Payments that holds: you pay card processing of 2.9% plus 30 cents on Basic, a touch less on the higher plans. But if you use your own payment provider instead, Kajabi adds its own fee on top: 2% of every sale on Basic, 1% on Growth, 0.5% on Pro. Figures from Kajabi's pricing page, 24 August 2026.

Does Kajabi have UK pricing in pounds?

The pricing page we read on 24 August 2026 quotes US dollars only, and notes that the card processing fees shown are for US entities. A UK buyer pays whatever the exchange rate is on the day, plus whatever their card adds for the conversion, so the bill moves about from month to month.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Kajabi for hosting a course?

Bernard hosts a whole website with a course on it for £800 a year flat: the £200 yearly plan plus the £600 courses addition. That is roughly £500 a year less than Kajabi's cheapest plan, it is a pound price that does not move with the exchange rate, and Bernard takes nothing from your sales. The honest caveat: Kajabi bundles email marketing funnels and a heavier toolset, and Bernard's course rooms are simpler. If you use all of Kajabi, it is earning its keep. If you use a fraction of it, you are paying for the rest anyway.

Kajabi 2026 pricing, explained - what a Kajabi site really costs

Kajabi is the expensive one, and it does not pretend otherwise. It sells itself as the all-in-one: courses, email marketing, sales funnels, podcasts, a website, all under one roof, one bill. The question for most people is not whether Kajabi is good. It is whether they are using enough of the roof to justify the rent.

Here is the whole bill, set out the way Bernard sets out a quote. Every line, and no surprises at the van.

What Kajabi charges in 2026

Kajabi has three plans. Read on its own pricing page on 24 August 2026, they are:

Plan	Billed yearly	The year's bill	Billed monthly
Basic	$143 a month	$1,716	$179 a month
Growth	$199 a month	$2,388	$249 a month
Pro	$399 a month	$4,788	$499 a month

At the exchange rate we recorded in late July 2026, the yearly Basic bill of $1,716 is roughly £1,340. Roughly, because that is the other thing about the bill: like What an online course platform really costs in 2026 - Podia, Kajabi, Teachable and the rest found across the whole category, it is in dollars. Kajabi publishes no pound price, and its pricing page notes the card fees it shows are for US entities. What actually leaves a UK account depends on the rate on the day and what your card adds for the conversion.

Kajabi's pricing page says all-in-one pricing with no revenue sharing, and on its own payment system that holds. You pay card processing, 2.9% plus 30 cents on Basic, slightly less on the higher plans, and that is that.

The asterisk is your own payment provider. Take payments through your existing Stripe or another provider rather than Kajabi Payments, and Kajabi adds a fee of its own on top of whatever your provider charges: 2% of every sale on Basic, 1% on Growth, half a per cent on Pro. It is smaller than the commission the cheap course plans charge elsewhere, but it is the same shape: a slice of your turnover, taken for using the plan you already pay for.

So what does Kajabi really cost?

For a UK seller paying yearly, on the cheapest plan, the bill is $1,716 a year, roughly £1,340 before the currency wobble, plus card processing on every sale, plus 2% of everything if you keep your own payment provider.

The yearly bill	Kajabi Basic	Bernard, site + courses
The plan, paid yearly	$1,716 (about £1,340)	£800
Cut of your sales	none via Kajabi Payments; 2% via your own provider	none, ever
Currency	US dollars, rate moves monthly	pounds, fixed
Anything added at the checkout	not stated on the page	nothing

What the price is really for

Kajabi's price buys the whole suite: the funnels, the email broadcasts, the automations. If your business runs on those, the comparison above is unfair to Kajabi and you should weight it accordingly.

Bernard's £800 buys something different: your whole website, moved in free and rebuilt so it loads fast and reads clearly to people and to the search and AI tools that now read the web, with a course living on it. Lessons with video, automatic transcripts and captions, a free preview lesson, paid or free or invitation-only enrolment, a members area, recurring memberships on your own Stripe. He takes nothing from your sales at any level. And he is plain about what he does not do: no staged release, no live classes, and while quizzes with automatic marking and per-student progress arrived in August 2026, the printable certificate is still being finished.

£800 in pounds, flat, with nothing added at the checkout, against roughly £1,340 in dollars plus the asterisk. That is the honest arithmetic, and which side wins depends on how much of the roof you actually use.

Paste your current address and Bernard will measure up, free, and show you the new place before you decide anything.
